| description |
The language of governance has spread rapidly in the
last thirty years. It describes changes in the nature and
role of the state—a shift from bureaucracy to markets
and networks. It also denotes a program for global
reform—addressingpoverty, gender equality, fair trade,
and sustainable environments.
Governance provides us with a language to
describe and theorize changes in our world. This language
has spread across numerous disciplines, including
political science, economics, sociology, and
public administration. It has also become a topic of
concern for political actors: Good governance is
among the lending criteria used by the World Bank.
Moreover, because governance can refer to the ways
political authorities govern alongside associations in
civil society, it encourages us to recognize that the
activity of governance occurs in schools and colleges,
professional organizations, businesses, and the media.
The language of governance thus extends to patterns
of rule found throughout our daily lives. Businesses
and nonprofit organizations are preoccupied with
issues of corporate governance, Internet governance,
clinical governance, and accountable governance.
Governance also provides us with a language to
remake our world. Democracy requires us to think
about how we are governed in terms of how we govern
ourselves. We might ask how to make markets,
networks, international organizations, corporations,
and other associations democratically accountable.
We might also ask what values we want to uphold in
our practices of governance. It is important for us to
address these questions because, by doing so, we
shape the future. We collectively forge new patterns of
rule based on new ideas and new values.
Although governance has arisen as a ubiquitous
language in which to discuss and act in our world,
few works translate it into the familiar, commonsense
vocabulary of our daily lives. This encyclopedia
unpacks the jargon that characterizes much writing in
the field to make it more intelligible to researchers,
professionals, students, and, I profoundly hope, those
citizens who want to pass democratic judgment on
the patterns of governance in which they find themselves.
Researchers and professionals can refer to it
for concise, accurate information on diverse topics.
Students will find it offers a clear and accessible introduction
and companion to a vast and growing literature.
Journalists can refer to it for background
information on developments in current affairs.
Citizens will find it offers detailed accounts of the
ideas and institutions often invoked in political
debate. Everyone will gain from it new insights into
the global community of which we are all part. |
